Psychological and psychiatric anthropology are two fields concerned with a number of issues around the interaction
of social structure, cultural processes, and human psyches. Related fields include cultural and social psychology,
cross-cultural or transcultural psychiatry, psychiatric epidemiology, the old "Culture and Personality" studies in
anthropology and the related literature on “national character” in sociology and political science, as well as aspects
of medical anthropology and sociology. This page draws together various resources for researchers in these areas.
Also see my site on Culture-Bound Syndromes, the syllabus for my 2007 course in psychological anthropology,
and our new journal club and associated annotated bibliography of classic readings in psychiatry and related fields.
If you have suggestions for additions, please let me know.
